Fashion and art blend seamlessly in this three-story pop up in a carefully curated collection that raises the bar for the consciously chic. Brands including Nicolino, VOZ, Kris Soonik, Snowman NYC,House of Horology, Romy & Ray, Noir Jewlery and Coye Nokes provide cutting edge clothing and accessory styles while championing causes such as empowering women and indigenous artisans. Original paintings including works by Misha T and my collaborative Love Robot works with Julian Rapp continue the the theme of New York inspired beauty and creative vision. The full range of sizes and styles from the Token Series is on view and available, from 4″x4″ oxidized tokens to 48″x48″ action painting masterworks, and a portion of the sales go to Global Citizen.

Paint, gold, copper and silver leaf as well as vintage crushed glass and the chemical aging processes of oxidation are used to create unique works that are inspired by the experiences of the millions of individuals who have used the subway to travel the boroughs of New York City. Old and young, shiny and tattered all share the same environment and never know what they will come across during their next ride on the subway train in NYC.

Throughout history governments, businesses and private individuals have commissioned works to commemorate events, spread a message or to celebrate a beloved person, place or thing. The Roman Colosseum, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and Picasso’s Guernica are a few examples of well known commissioned artworks, and there has even been speculation that the Mona Lisa was a commission that was never delivered.

Throughout my artistic career I have been commissioned to create paintings and sculptures of families, emperors, landscapes, beloved pets, bull fights and just about everything in-between. I deeply enjoy bringing the ideas of another person to life in my distinct artistic style.

Learn more about the process of commissioning an originalhere, or feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss ideas.

It offers the curious an opportunity to converse with the artist in his natural environment, take a peek at what goes on “behind the scenes” and likely gain insight in to the artist’s technique and process while viewing (and potentially reserving) works in progress before they are released to the general public.

Spirit of Vietnam

60″x48″

[On View at Pho Linh Restaurant]

This painting was created using oils, gold, copper and silver leaf on canvas and features the traditionally symbolic lotus flower, as well as the ao dai, and non la of Vietnamese custom. The country itself has been personified as a beautifully poised, reserved woman with long flowing lines and a smoldering inner strength that shines through.
